You are correct Pissouri, I have never been to any of them. Does that make you feel better ?

So why comment on the villages if you have never been and don't know what you are talking about?

Dear, dear pissouri, I was taking the Piss..ouri. Of course I have been to them, parts of my property are built with stone and wood from some of these villages.
Scarinou brings back memories of Brits argueing with locals about hireing cheap Syrian labour. One of your favourites is up the rd from me, employs a local baker from our village.
So yes I know them and so do the tourist buses, that's all I was trying to say. No intention to offend.

Yes I know, you've been there, done it, seen it, etc.

No offence taken

I'd leave the honey bee behind to produce more honey.

Best buy is lace from Lefkara, then Halloumi cheese.

Are you looking for long-term suppliers on a wholesale basis or just one-off souvenir purchases? If you are after the latter, I would recommed that you go to the municipal market in Limassol and wander around the neighbouring streets, particularly St Andrew's Street. Most small villages just have one co-operative shop that opens for about one hour a day.
